Bloody Eyeball Sangria Cocktail (A Spooky Halloween Cocktail Recipe)

October 20, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Bloody Eyeball Sangria Cocktail is a fun Halloween drink that’s fruity, subtly spiced, and surprisingly delicious. You won’t believe how easy it is to make, and simple it is to transform it into a mocktail!

A couple years ago my niece and I made a Murder Cake for Halloween. We went all out on it, and it was truly epic! (If you want, you can see more pictures of it here.)

It was a four-layer cake with alternating layers of fudgy brownies and red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream. It was decorated with sugar glass shards stabbing into the top, and edible blood oozing out.

Oh, it was a sight for sore eyes. As you can well imagine, it was horrific!…

Bloody Halloween Cupcakes are easy to make and deliciously spooky with raspberry jam edible fake blood (made without corn syrup!), vanilla buttercream, and soft, tender yellow cake. This Bloody Halloween Cupcakes recipe is along the same vein as my Murder Cake (no pun intended, lol). If you’re looking for a fun treat for a Halloween party that’s both creepy and crowd-pleasing, this is it. And they aren’t any more difficult to make than any other cupcakes!...

Butterbeer Brown Butter Blondies with Toasted Pecans (Inspired by Harry Potter)

October 15, 2021 by Faith 6 Comments

These Butterbeer Brown Butter Blondies with Toasted Pecans feature the rich buttery brown sugar sweetness of butterbeer (think butterscotch vanilla!). And like any good blondie, they’re gooey-centered and completely indulgent. What could be a more perfect fall snack for curling up on the couch and reading or watching Harry Potter? I always wonder what gets a person excited. And I don’t mean regular excited, I mean the kind of excitement that’s palpable. The kind of excited that makes someone’s eyes light up with passion and their voice resonate with happiness....

Serve them with mashed potatoes or mashed cauliflower to keep them low carb and keto friendly. What does comfort food mean to you? For me, it’s typically family-style dinners that my mom made when my sister and I were young. Meals like pot roast, meatloaf, and roast chicken with side dishes like green beans, mashed potatoes, broccoli, and squash. You know, foods that take all day to cook and make the whole house smell amazing. Meals that nourish your body […]...

You can use whatever leftover vegetables or meat you have on hand to customize it! Have you been to a Japanese steakhouse restaurant? They are so much fun!

It’s one of the most popular hibachi sauces at Japanese teppanyaki restaurants, and it’s commonly eaten on fried rice and grilled meat.

These Maple Walnut Scones are tender inside with a beautifully golden flaky crust outside, and have a hint of maple aroma and a subtle nutty flavor from walnuts. Have you ever had afternoon tea at a hotel or teahouse? It’s such a deliciously fun experience! They typically serve a variety of finger sandwiches, bite-sized pastries, and scones served with butter, clotted cream, jam, and curd. It’s always elegant and fun, but I also enjoy serving scones as part of weekend brunch at home just as much....

Vanilla Macarons with Chocolate Ganache and Coffee Buttercream

September 27, 2021 by Faith Leave a Comment

If you like the flavors of tiramisu, you’re going to love macarons with chocolate ganache and coffee buttercream! Inspired by my first experience with opéra cake on a trip to Paris, they’re the perfect combination of delicate and decadent. A couple years ago I spent the summer in Paris. I rented an Airbnb, shopped in open-air markets, cooked food in the tiny galley-style kitchen, and enjoyed as many local foods (read: cheeses) as I could. My favorite thing to do was walk around the gorgeous City of Lights and take in the stunning architecture and history. Most days I walked 8 to 10 miles! And […]...
